It’s been three years since the launch of PoBC, which has become a well-formed advocacy group that seeks to transform education and adjacent systems. Our approach over the next three years is rooted in the creation of transformational change which will occur from our consistent advocacy efforts at the provincial and federal levels of government. The transformational change we seek rests in the disruption, destruction, and reconstruction of colonial systems built on anti-Black racism. By building on the strength of our team, nurturing leadership, and leveraging our key role in advocacy, we will be able to achieve our strategic objectives.

Our goal is to expand our reach nationally and eventually internationally. In the next three years, PoBC intends to make specific gains in the areas of, understanding, supporting, and developing our network of systems navigators. To maintain its unique role, PoBC will continue to strategically align and expand its resources to ensure that it fulfils this mission. This is particularly important as systems navigation is at the heart of the services we provide and the need for support continues to see unprecedented growth.

PoBC is a catalyst for change and is a leading organization in the education sector. PoBC is engaged with advocacy and community work and will continue to work towards the dismantling of systemic barriers that impact our constituents. PoBC operates with an anti-racism lens with actionable mechanisms to address macro-level barriers and denounce discrimination. PoBC’s programs and services already reflect the strength of its commitment and relationships with the community and engagement with the larger society. PoBC is proud of the work that we do and the change that we are able to achieve. PoBC acknowledges that we can do more by working on clearly defined communication mechanisms, developing and maintaining clear commitments, and increasing funding.
